Hi what is the best castor based 2t oil and the easiest to get hold of?

and what ratio to run it at on my tlm200 (aircooled)

p.s i want to get the the castrol r smell but i have read that its not got for trials bikes cause it clogges up the piston or something like that?

thanks sam

Castrol TTS, its a synthetic version of Castrol R, smells simmilar too.

Dont know of any castor based ones though.

I used to use Castrol 747 2t great stuff smells right costs alot

i've seen that stuff but were can i get it from i have had a look on some site and it all ends up to cost about

i used touse castrol 747 also but in my motorcross bike, i was told for this it was not needed. I ask why and it is suited ideally to 125cc road racing bikes or contsant revving bikes. I suppose motorcross bikes rev more consistently higher than trials bikes so really shouldnt be needed. Also it can clog up i hear. I guess you should see what the top boys are using. I know for sure one WTC rider doesnt use it but as for the likes of bou it would be interesting to know if thats what makes you tick. Must admit it smells nice, but does it keep your feet on the pegs????

I use Maxima Castor 927 Racing 2 stroke oil, you can get it off ebay for

I run the Maxima in the modern bike at 80:1 with no probs!

Not really, you do get the odd whiff.

To be fair though you only seem get that smell from 4 strokes I run my BSA B25 on Castrol R30 and it smells sweet, but my Greeves on R30 smells like most two strokes.

If you use R30 the mix would be between 14:1 - 20:1. I think fouling would be a problem with a trials bike
